Decision to Leave (2023) – Movie Review
What appears to be a noir reveals itself to be an engrossing tale of a uniquely forbidden love.
Living (2022) – Movie Review
Bill Nighy will break your heart into a thousand little pieces as a quiet man waking up to the world around him.
Aftersun (2022) – Movie Review
Aftersun -a heartbreaking family story told with devastating normalcy- is more than the sum of its parts.
Glass Onion (2022) – Movie Review
Glass Onion is everything you could ask of a sequel: bigger than the original, keeping the same charm that made it a hit, but innovating on the formula. It feels like a proper new chapter in an ongoing adventure, not a retread of the same story.
See How They Run (2022) – Movie Review
As inoffensive as it is unremarkable.
Halloween Ends (2022) – Movie Review
Halloween Ends is appalling, in every way you might expect, but also in so many ways that you wouldn’t have seen coming in a million years. I am at a loss to explain the chain of decisions that could lead to this outcome.
Moonage Daydream (2022) – Movie Review
Moonage Daydream is simultaneously the closest I’ve ever felt to knowing a documentary subject, and the least I’ve ever learned about a documentary subject.
Athena (2022) – Movie Review
Hard to recommend but for the visual spectacle, Athena features excellent craft in service of a confounding story that betrays itself.
SSIFF: Pokhar Ke Dunu Paar (On Either Sides of the Pond) (2022) – Movie Review
A moody, naturalistic look at a couple under pressure.
